I talked to a taxidermist that I have used for different things what his cost would be. He charges $15/inch. If it was 24", it would be $360. The blank itself costs around $150. But this guy doesn't do it all the time. If this other guy he has talked to does a lot of fish or fish exclusively, it probably would be worth it. He said also to check out Terry's Taxidermy in OKC. His old price list on his website says replicas are $367-427.
